The EC Comics Treasury of Terror Vol. 1

THE MOST NOTORIOUS NAME IN TERROR IS OFFICIALLY RISEN FROM THE GRAVE . . . AND BIGGER THAN EVER IN EC COMICS’ FIRST-EVER, HORRIFICALLY HUMONGOUS TREASURY EDITION!

Fueled by rage and revenge, Oni Press is positively thrilled to present this specially selected, caustically curated collection of our very best horror tales culled from across EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS, CATACOMB OF TORMENT, CRUEL KINGDOM, SHIVER SUSPENSTORIES, and more of EC’s most infamous comic publications.

Standing tall at 10" x 14", this hefty slab of horrific intent and malign influence delivers tales of murder and mayhem torn from the vile imaginations of such wantonly brutal talents as Jason Aaron (Thor), Cullen Bunn (The Sixth Gun), Chris Condon (Ultimate Wolverine), Patricia A. Jackson (Star Wars Adventure Journal), Kano (Gotham Central), Matt Kindt (BRZRKR), David Lapham (Stray Bullets), Shawn Martinbrough (Detective Comics), Christopher Mitten (Hellboy), Tony Moore (Fear Agent), Greg Pak (Planet Hulk), Stephanie Phillips (Planet She-Hulk), Andrea Sorrentino (Gideon Falls), and more!

Find out why EC’s unexpected, Eisner Award–nominated resurrection return from the tomb has fans screaming for more (and mercy) in this tastefully morose, gorgeously reproduced collection celebrating EC’s greatest tales of grim vengeance and stomach-turning tension, forged in the immortal EC Comics manner!
